CYNTHIA ERIVO & ALAN MORRISSEY lyrics : "I Can't Sing"
Iâ??d like to find the right words.
Hidden inside a song.
Iâ??d like serenade you
But it would come out wrong.
Maybe you wonâ??t believe me
But singing's not my style
Because I'm so afraid you
Might just laugh and run a mile
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
Open my throat and windows start crack,
I thought a quaver was a cheese based snack
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
Thereâ??s a millions songs I have mangled,
Every note in my throat just gets tangled
Sounding more like a cat being strangled, by its own ball of string;
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
I can just heard the crowd call out for less
Flat as a pancake in a trouser press
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
Donâ??t know how my poor granddaddy stuck it
I canâ??t carry a tune in a bucket
Anybody â??ll tell you I suck, itâ??s the god damndest thing
I canâ??t sing, I canâ??t sing
Itâ??s a tough handicap
I canâ??t sing I canâ??t even rap (break it down yâ??all)
I canâ??t dance, itâ??s too bad
I move worse than a white boys dad.
I canâ??t tweet, I canâ??t blog
I look rough as a roverâ??s dog
I canâ??t do anything, worst of all I just canâ??t sing!
Max:
I need to break it too you
Unaware as you are
You have the voice of angels
Youâ??re born to be a star
You are the kind of girl that, but anyone would love
Such style, grace and beauty
These are gifts from up above
You can sing, you can sing
Chenice:
Had no idea I didnâ??t think I could,
I thought I made Geri Halliwell sound good
Max:
You can sing, you can sing
Chenice:
If you say so, maybe I can hack it
If itâ??s not such a god awful racket
Max:
Donâ??t forget that you could win a packet
I can just hear, â??cha chingâ??
Chenice:
Itâ??s my granddaddyâ??s dream Iâ??m fulfilling
Love is strong, even death cannot kill it
And ill rise out of this, should god will it
I got something to bring
I can sing, I can sing
I can
Sing
